Today, we celebrate. Love for music, passion for the beat, unity through trance. Long nights and early mornings, partying, clubbing, having a great time. Countless smiles and emotional moments, at home or on the dance floor. But most of all, we celebrate our love for A State of Trance. The radio show of Armin van Buuren, that unites millions of people through music each week. Today is the kick-off to the brand new world-tour, ‘The Expedition’. And we start the celebrations in Madrid!

The first of 12 dates and cities, all part of a very special happening. We celebrate the 600th episode of A State of Trance, and we’re celebrating BIG! At the Florida Park of Spain’s grand capital of Madrid, thousands of EDM fans will gather for the exclusive pre-party. With DJ’s Alexander Popov, Lange, Armin van Buuren, Ronski Speed, Giuseppe Ottaviani and of course Armin himself, the show isn’t only going to please the clubbers right there, but also warm up the listeners at home.

Tune in LIVE! The first 2 hours, from 19:00-22:00 (CET), Armin will do a special warm-up set live from the A State of Trance studio. These two hours will be video broadcast live. After that, we’ll switch back to audio, for the live-sets of the DJ’s. Check out all live broadcasts via http://live.astateoftrance.com.
